depends on your design ... and what about using the access keys as well ?

I would say using the noviz solution ... assuming its still visible to
screen readers!

Evening, William,

How about putting the content ahead of the navigation in the linear
HTML, and "skip to menu" at the top? <g>

<style type="text/css">
..skipnav {
position:absolute;left:-1000px;
}
</style>

<a href="#content">Skip Navigation</a>
......
<div id="content">
<h1>Here Am I</h1>
</div>

For small screen devices, the link shows, and for screen readers, the link
shows. For others, it does not show.

Surely this has to be a troll ...

Using an image? And "Skip to *content* ?"

Surely, skip to *menu*.

Why make things harder than they already are?

Nope. WT is a long-time poster in many HTML-associated NGs

Using an image?

Transparent or single-pixel gif images -- a fairly common way to provide
an invisible link.

Surely, skip to *menu*.

Depends on the sequence of the code. If navigation comes first (normal)
then 'skip to main content' is used as the first entry on a page.

Pardon? Want to explain a bit further?
